This years’ 2024 Category winner for Residential and Gardens was Cohaus! We thought better late than never to post about it and shine a light on our incredible Pip as the year comes to an end. NZILA interviewed Pip about her mahi which will also be coming out in 2025 so keep your ears wide open.

Cohaus is a twenty-unit medium-density residential development in Grey Lynn based on cohousing principles. Facilities are shared within the cohousing community so that individual units benefit from greater amenities than in commercial property development while minimising resource use.
Cohaus’s landscape design was undertaken by Resilio Studio and Studio Nord for and with the Cohaus residents. The landscape design is sensitive to context – adapting local and site-won materials and enhancing biodiversity through a range of native and productive plants.

The planting design was led by Pip Walls of Resilio Studio, with hardscape design by Thom Gill and Helle Westergaard of Studio Nord. All design aspects were developed through an iterative design approach with regular community meetings and co-design workshops.

The Cohaus development is a case study for urban co-housing in an Aotearoa New Zealand context, attracting touring architecture, planning, housing and gardening groups. This is echoed through recent media interest, including print and online publications and radio interviews focussing on the site’s innovative living arrangement and the joy the garden brings to the residents and community.

“Pip Walls from Resilio Studio was outstanding in her detailed work on the planting of the Cohaus landscaping. She completely engaged with our community, making herself available at weekends and getting her hands dirty with laying out plants. Our thriving garden is testimony to Pip’s invaluable work.”

Stevie Bracken from Resilio Studio participated in the Tāmaki Makaurau Hīkoi mō te Tiriti, standing in peaceful protest against the proposed Treaty Bill. As a team, we fully support this kaupapa and upholding the principals of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We’re proud to share her whakaaro on the day:

"The Hīkoi mō te Tiriti was a powerful event, bringing together thousands of Māori and Tauiwi in kotahitanga, a shared solidarity to honor and uphold the rights of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. 

The hīkoi remained a peaceful protest filled with waiata and whakawhanaungatanga. I'm grateful for the support from Resilio Studio, and to represent our firm in standing with tangata whenua during his important time in history. 

Mā te kotahitanga e whai kaha ai tātou. 
In unity, we find strength."

We are celebrating co-design at Resilio Studio this week with Kaipātiki Playground and Reserve (formerly Parakai Recreation Reserve) — designed with Te Poari o Kaipātiki ki Kaipara— featured in the Landscape Architecture Aotearoa. Our talented team's dedication and creativity have been instrumental in bringing a new vision for Kaipātiki Reserve to life, from master planning to design and delivery.

Collaboration, co-governance and co-design underpinned our approach to this project and we extend our gratitude to artist Bernard Makoare and traditional play specialist Harko Brown who were pivotal in their contribution.

As we acknowledge Play Week in Aotearoa, we invite you to explore Kaipātiki Playground and Reserve — link to the article and Te Wāhi Tākaro o Kaipātiki video in our bio.

Resilio Studio attended the Green Infrastructure Conference in Auckland this week where our colleague Charlotte Drayton delivered an insightful presentation on Ecological Corridors in the Tāmaki Makaurau urban region. Her presentation emphasised the critical role of public spaces such as streets and open spaces to foster ecological connectivity, protecting and enhancing our unique biodiversity. We feel privileged to contribute to the dialogue on green infrastructure in Aotearoa, and were excited by the diverse voices across the conference championing a wide range of regenerative approaches to the complex challenges we face.
